NEVER FIT IN
NEVER WANTED TO, PICKED ON
IN SCHOOL FOR MY IDENTITY
CAUSE I CHOSE TO SKATE
NOT GO TO KEG PARTIES
THIS PATH WAS MY FATE AND ILL
NEVER FIND MY PLACE IN A 9 TO 5 WORLD
I APPRECIATE IT ALL NOW,
THIS PATH MY FATE
NO 9 TO 5 WORLD
MY LIFE MY RULES
CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO
MY BROTHERS SAVED ME WITH THIS MUSIC SCENE
THERE’S SOMEWHERE I BELONG
NOT ON A FOOTBALL TEAM.
MY MIND WAS ALWAYS SOMEWHERE ELSE,
THERE’S ALWAYS A WAY OUT.

SKATE!
EVERYDAY ALL I CARED ABOUT
KEPT ME OUT OF TROUBLE
WOULDN’T STOP UNTIL IT HURT
CARVING, GRINDING, FALLING DOWN
ALWAYS BY MY SIDE, READY TO RIDE
AT ANY TIME, I’LL RIDE ANY TIME- SKATE!
EVERYDAY ALL I CARED ABOUT
KEPT ME OUT OF TROUBLE,
SAYIN’ IT WAS A FAD WASTE OF TIME
BACK SIDE, FRONT SIDE BUILT TO GRIND
THE SWEAT, THE PAIN, THE SCARS, THE SCABS
SKATE & DESTROY, SKATE & CREATE

SOME STAYED CLEAR
SOME DIVED IN
THE RIGHT PATH OR A WRONG DECISION
BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN WHEN YOU FLIP IT
THROUGH THE SONGS
WE’RE CONNECTED
THROUGH
THICK AND THIN
WITH YOU
TILL THE END
I’LL ALWAYS FIND THE BEST IN PEOPLE
EVERYONE IS MY EQUAL
SOME WEAR A BADGE SOME GET ARRESTED
OVER THE YEARS WE ALL GET TESTED
I’M NOT A JURY JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST AND
THROUGH THE MUSIC
WE’RE CONNECTED
SOME GROW UP. SOME STAY THE SAME
I’LL NEVER CHANGE
I LOVE THEM EITHER WAY
WE’RE ALL HERE
GUILTY!

I’LL USE MY VOICE
FOR THE TORTURED
FOR THE WEAK
USE MY VOICE
FOR THE INNOCENT
WHO CAN’T SPEAK
I’LL USE MY VOICE
WHEN PEOPLE LOOK THE OTHER WAY
GOT TO INSPIRE
THE YOUTH OF TODAY
STAND UP
STAND UP
STAND UP
CAN’T YOU HEAR THE CRYING
SO MANY WASTED LIVES
FOR THINGS WE JUST DON’T NEED
SO MANY HAVE DIED
FOR OUR SELFISH GREED

FELT LIKE THE BLACK SHEEP
WHEN I WAS SO YOUNG
AFTER MY DAD PASSED
MY LIFE BECAME NUMB
MOM WORKING THREE JOBS
TO MAKE ENDS MEET SO
I LOOKED UP TO YOU
SAID I DON’T WANT TO GROW UP
OUT OF STEP WITH THE WORLD
NO FATHER FIGURE IN MY LIFE
EXCEPT THE ONES WHO PLAYED HERE TONIGHT
TAUGHT ME TO BE MYSELF
ALWAYS DO WHAT’S RIGHT
I LOOKED UP TO YOU
SAID I DON’T WANNA GROW UP
OUT OF STEP WITH THE WORLD
FAST FORWARD TO NOW THAT MY CHANCE HAS COME
TO BE THE ROLE MODEL FOR HIM TO RELY ON
PASS DOWN THE WORDS THE GUIDANCE HE NEEDS
GIVE BACK WHAT THEY DID FOR ME

SACRIFICES MADE
TO FOLLOW OUR DREAM
GRASS ISN’T GREENER
OR SO IT SEEMS
A BOAT FULL OF SAILORS
NO RULES APPLY
PLAY OUR HEARTS OUT
UNTIL THE DAY WE DIE
WE MADE OUR MARK DID OUR PART
STRAIGHT TO YOU FROM THE HEART
HALF OUR LIVES PLAYING THESE SONGS
DOING WHAT WE LOVE
CAN’T BELIEVE HOW LONG
A BLESSING AND A CURSE
ALL IN ONE
LOSING TIME WITH OUR LOVED ONES
IN THE NAME OF FUN
BONDS WERE MADE ALONG THE WAY
AND FRIENDS WERE LOST
WE PLAY HERE FOR YOU
AT ANY COST
H2O GO!
LIVE IT EVERYDAY OUR LIFE LONG CRUSADE

I HEAR A SONG ON THE RADIO PLAY
CAN SING IT ALL BY THE END OF THE DAY
WOULD YOU LAUGH AT THE WORDS THAT I’M SAYING
POP MUSIC IS WHAT I’M PLAYING
I’VE GOT NO SHAME
STILL NOTHING TO PROVE
SONGS CAN CHANGE YOU
OR JUST MAKE YOU MOVE
PARACHUTES, FIREWORKS, BEAUTIFUL DAYS
YOU’RE TOO ANGRY TO SAY
I’VE GOT MY MIND OPEN WIDE
AND IT’S FINE
IF YOU DESPISE IT
LIFES TOO SHORT TO HIDE WHAT YOU LIKE
GUILTY PLEASURES ARE ALRIGHT
MUSIC CHANGED MY LIFE
SO WHAT IF I DON’T CONNECT WITH ALL THE LYRICS
THEY GET ME SINGING EVERYTIME THAT I HEAR IT
EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE NOT SCREAMING FOR A CHANGE
THEY PICK ME UP WHEN I HAVE A BAD DAY
I’VE GOT NO SHAME
STILL NOTHING TO PROVE
SOME SONGS CHANGE YOU
OR JUST MAKE YOU MOVE
AIN’T IT FUN, DON’T SPEAK, HOLIDAY
YOU’RE TOO ANGRY TO SAY!
WHEN I GOT THE MUSIC I GOT A PLACE TO GO
UNDERGROUND OR ON THE RADIO
YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE, THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS PASS JUDGEMENT ON YOU

WOKE UP THIS MORNING
THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED
NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
INSIDE MY HEAD
HAVE I LIVED MY DASH THE BEST I CAN
NO I’M NOT A PERFECT MAN
I’M JUST DOING THE BEST I CAN
LIFE’S SHORT
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
DOESN’T MEAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE
LIFE’S HARD
STRUGGLE SOMETIMES
GOTTA KEEP A POSITIVE MIND
WON’T GIVE PEOPLE TIME
THAT TRY AND PULL ME DOWN
INSPIRATION
I CHOOSE TO HANG AROUND
DIG DEEP FOR THAT PMA GO

STARTED WITH ONE MAN
STARTED WITH HIS DREAM
UNITED PEOPLE

NOW
OHHH OHHHH RACISM
OHHH OHHHH POVERTY
NOOO OOOOH

STILL STAIN OUR NATION
BURNING DOWN BUILDINGS
FIGHTING IN THE STREETS
WE BOTH WANT THE SAME THINGS
SO DON’T POINT YOUR FINGERS AT ME
BURNING DOWN BUILDINGS
FIGHTING IN THE STREETS
WE’RE NOT MAKING CHANGES
JUST WATCHING ON TV
WE GOTTA EDUCATE
LETS CHANGE HISTORY
EQUALITY NO MATTER RELIGION
LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY
BUT
OHH OHH POLITICIANS
OHH OHH CITIZENS
WHO’S TO BLAME WHEN
THE FIRE ENDS
WE GOTTA MOTIVATE
WE GOTTA EDUCATE
WE GOTTA STOP THE HATE

RICH OR FOR POOR
FOR BETTER OR WORSE
PEOPLE MADE BETS ON US
SAID WE WOULDN’T WORK
NO ONE BELIEVED IN US
AS WE DID EACH OTHER
20 YEARS LATER BEST FRIENDS TOGETHER
TRUE LOVE
EXISTS I SEE IT EVERYDAY
OUR LOVE
MY INSPIRATION
TRUE LOVE
EXISTS IN US EVERYDAY
MY STRENGTH MY INSPIRATION
CAN’T SAY IT ENOUGH
YOU HAD MY BACK FROM DAY ONE
YOU’RE SO COOL, YOU’RE SO COOL.
DON’T THINK I’D BE
THE PERSON I AM
SUPPORTED MY GOALS AND DREAMS
ALWAYS KEPT IT TRUE
WHEN NO ONE BELIEVED IN US
WE NEVER LOOKED BACK
20 YEARS LATER A FAMILY FOREVER

Springtime and Blind
by Fiddlehead
supported by 32 fans who also own “Use Your Voice”
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them!

Outstanding album. Thrash the way it's meant to be.

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems.
go to album
Bay Area punks swing for the fences with this bruiser of a debut LP, a confident fusion of metalcore, hardcore, and powerviolence.
go to album
Bluesy protopunk in the great Detroit tradition by the city's own the Stools, with dashes of the Stooges, Negative Approach, and the Gories.
